costata <strong>and</strong> Allocasuarina littoralis understory. Two rare plants inhabit this quadrat:<br />
Gompholobium pinnatum <strong>and</strong> Pultenaea paleacea. An uncommon plant is Acacia<br />
brownii <strong>and</strong> Pimelia curviflora ssp curviflora is listed as vulnerable in Schedule 2 <strong>of</strong><br />
the TSC Act (1995). This quadrat is 4 positive diagnostic species short <strong>of</strong> fulfilling<br />
